[00:49.73]Every time you diss the colors it will keep on repeatin

[01:13.95]Just a walk on the block they tell you it costs
[01:15.97]Willingly pay - or be forced
[01:18.04]Once your color is set you gotta be stern
[01:21.04]A bad influence for the young that are eager to learn
[01:23.68]The rules of a gang is fightin and killin
[01:26.21]Did you ever stop to think that was blood you were spillin
[01:28.87]Duckin from the cops most the time

[01:56.94]And a mind is a terrible thing to waste
[02:32.00]Had many bad dreams nights stayin awake
[02:34.13]Joinin a gang was the fatal mistake
[02:36.68]Just to fill your head with knowledge till your mind goes blank
[02:39.23]And rumble with boys and dispose of the shank
[02:42.88]GANG can be spelled with capital letters

[02:47.28]Some gangs lack action they're basically talk
[02:49.68]Until their brains get scattered on the sidewalk

[03:05.52]Because a mind is a terrible thing to waste

[03:23.90]Gangs ain't gonna be around much longer
[03:26.47]If 5 out of 10 become mentally stronger
[03:29.10]My mother said bein in a gang ain't nothin
[03:31.70]I didn't listen to her cause I thought she was bluffin
[03:34.19]I thank her from my heart that she stayed on my case
[03:36.74]Made sure my mind didn't just become another waste
